AKIT7 159




Chapter 159


Children's liking was simple and direct. They may like someone because they are smart or good-looking. They may not like someone because they farted or said a dirty word.

Da Qiao didn't have this kind of emotional experience when she was a child. So she found her sister's emotional changes interesting and amusing.

Although little Dong Yun didn't like the little boy anymore, the little boy came up to say hello when he saw little Dong Yun. He even gave little Dong Yun a handful of candies.

But because she didn't like him anymore, the candies became normal candies instead of sparkling candies.

Because they were worried that it would snow after dark, they went home directly after shopping.

As soon as they turned the corner, they found Qiao Dong Wan and little Mi Bao sitting at the entrance with schoolbags on their backs.

Qiao Xiu Zhi and the others were shocked and hurriedly quickened their pace.

"Dong Wan, why are you two here? Where are your parents?" Xue Chuan asked.

Before Qiao Dong Wan could answer, little Mi Bao chirped: "Grandfather, Grandmother, you are finally back. I was at wits’ end when you didn’t come back!"

‘I was at wits’ end’ was little Mi Bao's catchphrase. No matter what she did, she would add this sentence. Her temper was very much like her mom, Chu Sheng Mei- impatient.

Everyone couldn't help but be amused when they heard her words.

Qiao Dong Wan explained: "Grandfather, Grandmother, my parents don't have time to come here, so I brought Younger Sister here alone."

She didn't see Elder Sister for another semester and missed her. Even when she had to take Younger Sister by herself on such a long journey, she insisted on coming here.

Although Qiao Xiu Zhi was slightly displeased about letting the two children come here by themselves, she didn’t nag at this time since she saw the two of them were fine.

She opened the door and urged, "Come in. Don't stand outside the door. Be careful of getting sick from the cold!"

Qiao Dong Wan didn't follow in straight away. Instead, she walked up to Elder Sister, took the thing she was carrying in her right hand, "Elder Sister, I'll help you carry it!"

Da Qiao looked at her with raised lips, "Okay. Thank you Dong Wan!"

So many younger brothers and sisters. When they were little, they were very attached to Da Qiao. Once they grew up, they would no longer be as attached to her as they were when they were little. Like Dong Lin and Yi Ming.

Only Qiao Dong Wan still clung to her like when she was a child. Even when thousands of miles away, she would definitely return to her side like a tireless migratory bird.

Da Qiao looked at Younger Sister who had reached her ear and felt as if she was soaking in a hot spring.

After entering the house, Da Qiao went to the kitchen to cook a pot of ginger soup for everyone. The weather outside was too cold. After going out for a trip, one had to drink a bowl of ginger soup to shake off the cold.

Qiao Dong Wan and the other younger siblings helped her. Everyone chatted and laughed. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

After drinking the ginger soup and putting the things away, Qiao Xiu Zhi asked about Youngest Son.

Qiao Dong Wan leaned against Elder Sister with a warm water bottle in her hand, "My dad and Uncle Kang Bao have fallen out. They've been talking about the company's accounts for the past few days. Dad said he probably won't be able to make it back in time for the New Year!"

Anshun Company was established by Qiao Zhen Min, Chu Sheng Mei, and Wu Kang Bao. In middle of the that, a large sum of money was borrowed from the bank through Nanshan County Conquest and the bank.

Among the three, Qiao Zhen Min and Wu Kang Bao were responsible for running business and expanding the customers. Chu Sheng Mei wasn’t in charge of any position in the company at the beginning. After she got together with Qiao Zhen Min, she took over the management of the company's accounts.

Because she knew some accounting skills, it was suitable for her to entrust this matter to her. Of course, Wu Kang Bao agreed to her management of accounts.

When there were no conflicts in the past, it was natural that there was nothing wrong with each other. Now under the instigation of Yao Xin Xin, Wu Kang Bao suddenly brought up re-checking the accounts.

To Qiao Zhen Min and Chu Sheng Mei, his behavior was doubting their character. Both of them were hurt when he suspected that they had tampered with the accounts.

Especially Qiao Zhen Min, who had been friends with Wu Kang Bao for so many years. He never thought that the two of them would have such a fight one day.

After such a move, they can’t be friends anymore in the future!

But it was useless to get angry. Wu Kang Bao seemed to have his foot down and believed that the two of them were treacherous villains. He was determined to check all the accounts clearly.

Hearing this, Qiao Xiu Zhi sighed and remarked: "When it comes to profits, let alone friends, even siblings may fall out!"

So after the children grew up, she didn't let first branch continue to be attached to the second branch. It was for this reason, she told them to stand up on their own.

After hearing this, Da Qiao immediately thought of Huo Chi.

Huo Chi had set up a communication company with two other classmates a few months ago. Currently, everyone was full of energy and had the same goal. Just don’t know if there will be troubles in the future?

Qiao Dong Wan noticed Elder Sister being in a daze. She put the warm water bottle in her hand and asked, "Elder Sister, what are you thinking?"

Da Qiao came back to her senses: "I was thinking about Elder Brother Huo Chi. Elder Brother Huo Chi started a company with his friends this year. I was wondering if I should remind him?"

Qiao Dong Wan let out an ‘oh’ and turned to look at her grandfather and grandmother.

Xue Chuan said: "You can remind him. But when the conflict hasn’t occurred yet, reminding may not be very effective."

At the beginning of starting a business, it would be very difficult to do it alone especially for young people with no experience. Many people will find friends to start a business together. Some people would share the difficulties, others would share the risks.

Huo Chi was still young. So it was fine to cooperate with friends. When he gradually grows and becomes strong enough, it will not be too late for him to fly solo.

——

Because of the arrival of Qiao Dong Wan and little Mi Bao, the family became more and more lively.

The closer to the end of the new year, the busier second branch’s shop became. Three employees were employed in the shop. Still, it wasn’t enough.

Qiao Zhen Min and Lin Hui were running around nonstop. Both had dark circles under their eyes. But seeing the rising turnover, the two of them felt very energetic.

Da Qiao, Qiao Dong Wan, Dong Lin and other younger siblings would also take turns to help.

On this day, Da Qiao came to deliver lunch to her parents.

When she walked to the door, she heard Xiao Ying, who was in charge of the cashier, quarrel with a customer.

The guest seemed to dislike her for being too slow and delayed her going home for dinner. Xiao Ying rolled her eyes and told the other party that she should complain if she has the ability!

"But let me tell you, I'm lady boss of this store. This store belongs to my husband. So it's useless even if you complain!"

When Xiao Ying said this, the expression on her face was as proud as a peacock.

The customer was fuming: "Lady boss is so great? Having your attitude isn’t acceptable in today's society. You think this is a supply and demand cooperative in the past. If you continue to behave like this, I will never come here to buy things again! "

"Don't buy then. Buying such a small amount of things, you still have the nerve to yell. Our store business is so good that we don’t lack a stingy customer like you!"

As she said that, she was about to throw back the guest's money. At this moment, a hand stretched out and grabbed her wrist. The strength of the grasp could almost crush her hand.

Xiao Ying was about to break into scolding. But when she looked up and saw Da Qiao's indifferent face. Her face immediately turned pale: "Da..."

Da Qiao interrupted her and stated in a cold voice: "Why don't I know that I have an additional mom who is only six years older than me? Also, when did you marry my dad?"

Xiao Ying's face turned white and red.

The customer looked at Da Qiao, then at Xiao Ying. It dawned on her: "So, she isn’t the lady boss of this shop?"

Da Qiao swung Xiao Ying's hand away and replied, "No, this store is run by my family. She is just an employee we hired. My mom is a very kind and beautiful woman. She never uses that kind of attitude to treat customers. It’s our fault that you have such an unpleasant experience in our store. Your shopping is free of charge today as our apology and compensation to you!"

The customer was furious just now. Not only did she swear in her heart that she would never come to this store to buy anything again, but also publicize it to her relatives, friends and neighbors. Tell them to not come here to buy anything.

Unexpectedly, this girl appeared. Not only did she tell her that the cashier had tricked her, but also gave her a free bill!

Her dissatisfaction disappeared without a trace like bubbles in the sun!

The guest praised Da Qiao a bit, spat on Xiao Ying, packed up her things, and left.

Only then did Xiao Ying regain her voice. She spoke in a trembling voice, "Da Qiao, I...I know I was wrong. Can you not tell Elder Sister Hui and Elder Brother Zhen Min about this?"

Da Qiao refused straight away: "No!"

If she was simply rude to the guests and was willing to change her ways, she would give the other party a chance. But she fabricated her identity to the guests. This seriously damaged the reputation of her parents!

If stranger hear it, they think that her dad was raising another woman outside, or that her mom was an arrogant and rude woman. With her attitude, the store might be ruined by her one day!

So Xiao Ying can't stay no matter what!

Xiao Ying's eyes were as red as a rabbit's and tears fell down.

It was a pity that Da Qiao had never been a soft-hearted person. She didn't give Xiao Ying another glance and turned to go to the stockroom inside.

Walking to the door of the stockroom, she happened to see her dad massaging her mom's calf: "Hui Hui, your skin is so good. It's the same as when you were young."

Lin Hui's cheeks were slightly red. She raised her hand to push him and said, "Stop talking. It's embarrassing. Enough, don't massage it. It will be bad when someone comes in and sees it!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she looked up and saw Da Qiao standing at the door. Her face flushed red in an instant.

Qiao Zhen Jun turned his head and saw his daughter. He found it quite awkward: "You’re here. Why have you been walking more and more silently recently?"

When Da Qiao heard this, she gave a mini eye roll. Really, Dad? It was clearly him who was embarrassed. Instead, he turned it around and blame her.

Lin Hui couldn't stand seeing her husband wronging her daughter. She stretched out her hand and whacked him. Afterward, she walked over to take the lunch box brought by Da Qiao, "It's so cold outside. Didn’t I tell you that you don't have to bring food here? It's the same for us to eat outside."

Da Qiao shook her head and softly replied, "Mom, don't worry about me. I'm not afraid of the cold."

It was probably because of consuming jade bead water all year round. She wasn’t afraid of heat in summer and cold in winter. Just like what Cai Ru Nan said, her body seem to automatically adjust the temperature.

Lin Hui still felt distressed for her daughter and babbled on about it.

Da Qiao waited for them to finish their meal before telling them what happened just now.

After Lin Hui heard this, her face flushed with anger: "Simply unreasonable! When she came to apply for the job, she said that her family was very poor and she wanted to earn money to treat her dad’s illness. I thought she was filial, so I accepted her. Never thought she is such a person!"

Qiao Zhen Jun felt like he was fed a mouthful of flies. Completely disgusted: "This person can't stay. Let her go today!"

She even dared to tarnish his and Lin Hui’s reputations. Fortunately, she was caught by Da Qiao. If a misunderstanding took root, he wouldn’t be able to clean up even if he jumped into the Yellow River!

Lin Hui settled Xiao Ying's salary and let her go that day.

Xiao Ying cried to the point of having snot and tears all over her face. But no one sympathized with her. In the end, she could only sobbingly leave.

Because the New Year was approaching, it wasn’t easy to find another person. So Da Qiao came over to act as the cashier. Two days later, Qiao Dong Wan also came to help.

Since Da Qiao came to work as a cashier, the business in the store improved. There was an endless stream of customers. So prosperous that it made people jealous.

A few men saw Da Qiao's beauty and used the opportunity of buying things to drop by often. They chatted a bit with her from time to time. After a few days, they asked Da Qiao out.

But they were all rejected by Da Qiao. Da Qiao directly told them that she was engaged.

Although those men felt it was a pity after hearing this, they didn't bother too much.

On this day, a young man came to the store. He was about fifteen or sixteen years old. His skin was tanned to a wheat color. He looked very sunny and healthy.

After he came in, he quickly selected the things he wanted to buy and took them to the cashier to check out.

After paying the bill, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he frowned and pointed out: "You miscalculated!"

Qiao Dong Wan subconsciously denied, "Impossible!"

Her arithmetic and mental arithmetic were above the average person. She never made mistakes in her arithmetic.

The boy said: "Count again!"

Fine, count it again!

Qiao Dong Wan was very confident in her mental arithmetic. Soon, she was slapped in the face.

She really miscalculated. She made a low-level mistake!

Qiao Dong Wan blushed and took out the difference: "I'm sorry, I miscalculated!"

The boy accepted the money, picked up his own things, and said, "It's okay."

He left after speaking.

At first she thought it was just a one time accident. However, the boy came again the next day!

When Qiao Dong Wan saw the boy, she remembered what happened yesterday. Because she was afraid of losing face by making a wrong calculation again, her face was tense.

After finishing the calculation, the boy looked at her. His mouth twitched: "Today's calculation is correct."

Qiao Dong Wan felt that he was mocking her. She gave him a pointed look and gave him six yuan and eighty cents back.

The boy took the money and left with his things.

In the next few days, the boy came over often. Every time, it was when Qiao Dong Wan came over to be the cashier.

It was just that the two didn't communicate too much. The boy only stopped coming after the door closed on New Year's Eve.

With the sound of firecrackers, the new year arrived again.

Huo Family still came to Qiao's house like the previous years.

Last year's New Year's Eve, Zhong Kang De proposed to Dai Shu Fang in Qiao's yard. It became a wonderful marriage.

This New Year's Eve, the couple actually had good news again!

Chapter 65 Trouble (2)


He Hao got a headache from the whole family’s behavior. He yelled angrily: "All stop!"

For a moment, even rascal old Third Chen was scared into silence by the normally easygoing. He stared blankly at He Hao who had an aura of dignity.

Naturally, the spectating villagers didn't say anything. After all, it wasn’t good to get involved with old Third Chen. If they can not get involved, it is best not to get involved.

"You’re already a few dozen years old and still rolling around throwing a tantrum. Don't you feel ashamed!" Irritated, He Hao scolded old Third Chen before turning his head to look at the two young men nearby: "Hurry up and support him! What does this look like!"

Old Third Chen, who was being lifted up, was only frightened at the beginning. He, who can anger his old father to death and then sell his own sister by marrying her off, was naturally an asshole. Grasping his dusty sleeves, he pretended to wipe away the non-existing tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "Elder Brother He Hao, as the village lizheng, you can't let outsiders bully our Wuliqiao folks! Look at how they beat me up. If they don’t pay me ten silver liang for medical expenses today, this matter will never end!”

"Brother He Hao! You have to uphold justice for our family! Our family of six/seven depend on our family head to live. If something happens to him, how will us orphans and widow live!" Old Third Chen’s wife stretched out her hand and pinched her already crying daughter. Crying and sobbing to make themselves look miserable.

The sharp cries of old Third Chen's wife and children annoyed He Hao to the max. His brows became more and more wrinkled. This family was truly one family. Each and every one were top-notch at playing tricks. After taking a deep breath, he said loudly: " Alright! Stop messing!"

This old Third Chen's family was a pool of muddy water. If he wasn’t the Lizheng, he didn't want to get involved in this matter at all. First, he turned his head to look at the tightly huddled together outsiders who looked at him with hatred: "Today's matter, each have their own say. You said he stole the money, but there is no evidence. There’s also you beating the other. This matter ah!"

When the five canal workers heard this, their hearts turned cold. They were in a foreign land and their strength was limited. Even if they went to report to the officials and said that they had slandered them, what could they do?

Seeing the bloodshot eyes of the few canal workers, He Hao sighed deeply. He turned to look at old Third Chen: "As for old Third Chen, you were the house owner. They lived at your place and lost money. You can’t escape from responsibility. You pay back the accommodation money paid by the five of them and this matter was over."

"Why! Let them live in our house for nothing these days!" Old Third Chen's wife was also a shrew. When she heard that they were to return the money they got, she immediately got counterattacked. She stood up and pointed at He Hao. "As Lizheng, you are helping outsiders. Not afraid of me reporting to the official and take off your lizheng’s black gauze hat here. See how you can still show off your power then!"

"Although I, He Hao, have not accomplished much, my conscience can be at ease with what I have done in my life. If anyone thinks that I am unfair, they can go to the Yamen to report!" His gaze landed on old Third Chen and stated: "The only thing I felt ashamed about this matter is that I can't get back the stolen money for the five of them. It's best to report to the official. Maybe the stolen money can be found and all those goddamn thieves will be arrested and sentenced to three to five years in prison!"

He Hao made it sound serious. Those thieves were naturally a little guilty. Old Third Chen glared at his wife angrily. Was she trying to harm him? Although each person refunded a few dozen wen, the total amount was nearly two yuan. But when he thought about the bulging money bag he had hidden, old Third Chen gritted his teeth and submitted: "Since you have said so, I, old Third Chen San can be regarded as a reasonable and loyal person and we can get together and part on good terms. Just treat it as making friends with the few of you."

He picked and searched his pockets for half a month's accommodation money for the five. Afterward, he even wanted to hook his arms on some sad and angry canal workers’ shoulder with a playful smile: "Brothers, if someday you want to come back and live at my place, you’re welcome to anytime!"

One of the younger generation heavily shook off the arm put on his shoulder and followed behind the leading canal worker. Fuming, the five of them left old Third Chen's house with the few old clothes they had and went to the west of the river.

This farce ended like this. The villagers dispersed when they saw that there was no more excitement to watch. He Hao looked at old Third Chen with a playful smile, sighed deeply, shook his head, and left.

After all the unrelated people left, old Third Chen's wife angrily complained: "Why did you agree to pay the money, you got injured! The money for the accommodation is what we deserve. We lost it in vain!"

Old Third Chen rubbed his injured chin and yelped. Then he angrily retorted: "You think I am willing to pay? That He Hao's face is black as coal. If we don't lose some money, what should I do if those outsiders really reported to the officials?"

After saying that, he viciously spat. He harbored resentment towards He Hao who favored outsiders.

Speaking of He Hao, old Third Chen kept grumbling: "He really thinks of himself as an official! Only know to bully us. Wait until my son is successful in the future and I’ll make them look good!"

The couple had rolled on the ground and their bodies were dusty. Old Third Chen irritatedly kicked the eldest daughter who stood timidly by the side: "What are you looking at! Bring me water to wash up!"

Chen Xiao Hong, who was kicked, woodenly acknowledged before going to the kitchen to fetch hot water for her parents. She still heard old Third Chen cursing behind her: "Raised her for twelve or thirteen years and not at all promising. Ate my rice for nothing. Once I find someone who can afford the money, I will sell you immediately!"

As her eyebrow twitched, Chen Xiao Hong’s hands shook. She accidentally spilled some hot water, which happened to land on the feet of old Third Chen’s eldest son, Chen Da Cheng. Chen Da Cheng kicked her too. Chen Xiao Hong, who was kicked down with the basin, didn't dare to cry while listening to her parents and eldest brother berate. She hurriedly picked up the wooden basin and went back to the kitchen to fetch hot water.

***

Back to the five canal workers who came out of Wuliqiao Village. They looked at the dark surroundings. From time to time, a few dogs barking or howling wolves could be heard. The night wind was still a bit chilly.

The younger ones felt aimless for a while and looked at each other, not knowing where to go. The leading man hesitated for a while before saying in a deep voice: "Go. Let's go to the west of the river!"

Seeing the canal worker's dormitory on the west side of the river that was still slightly shining in the distance, the few people had no choice but to go there to try their luck. In fact, they had wanted to live in Su Family’s canal worker's dormitory at the beginning, but Su Family's side had long been full. The five people really had no choice but to go to the east of the river and lived in old Third Chen's house. Who would have thought that there would be so many moths all at once?

Uncle Wang, who was about to take a rest, heard a knock on the door outside. He signaled Han Li and Han Er Hua to sleep first. He lit a lantern, put on his outer clothes, and went to the front yard: "It's so late at night, who is it?"

"Sir, we are the canal workers who used to live across the river. We would like to stay with you for one night. Is it possible?" The leader of the canal workers cupped his hands and asked a little embarrassedly.

When Uncle Wang heard that they wanted to stay, he waved his hands, and replied, "We are full. No place left anymore!"

When they heard that there was no place left, they were a little disappointed and prepared to leave dejectedly. One young boy didn't give up. He begged once more: "Sir, we were tricked by old Third Chen's family on the other side of the river. He stole all our money. We really have no choice. So late at night, the city gate is also closed. We really have nowhere to go. Sir, please help us!"

As soon as he heard that it was the canal workers who lived in old Third Chen's house, Uncle Wang unconsciously frowned: "Why did you live in his house?"

However, his compassion bubbled up and led the five people to the side of the yard. Walking to a row of single rooms, he opened one of the vacant rooms with a key: "Why don't you live here today. The rooms here are all paid by month. I don't think it's easy for you, just give me the money for one night first."

Seeing how accommodating he was, the few people were naturally very grateful. They hurriedly scraped together the rent for one night and gave it to Uncle Wang. After gratefully seeing off Uncle Wang, they took a look at the single room. The kang could barely fit five people. There were tables, chairs and benches. Though it was small, it for one night.

In the early morning of the next day, Uncle Wang roughly explained the matter to You Jin who came to check the canal worker's dormitory at the daily fixed time: "Those canal workers lived in a single room for one night. You Jin lass, don't blame this old man for making the decision on my own!"

After listening to Uncle Wang's words, You Jin smiled and said, "Sir, you did the right thing. Our family taking them in for one night is a slight help of hand. But what happened at the east side of the river?" Su Family lived on the west side of the river. The advantage of being far away from the village was that it was calm and tidy. But the disadvantage was that they didn't know what happened in the village.

Speaking of this, Uncle Wang spat in disgust: "That old Third Chen isn’t a thing! The hard-earned money of several canal workers had been stolen. If Lizheng hadn't stepped forward and had him refunded the accommodation fee, those people were probably going to sleep on the streets!"

After listening to Uncle Wang's general account of what happened, You Jin frowned and asked: "Can’t those canal workers report to the officials? The officials can't ignore the loss of so much money, right?"

Uncle Wang sighed and said: "You Jin lass, your family had only moved here for less than half a year. So you don't know how powerful old Third Chen is. He is well-known in our area. It's not that he hadn’t been reported to the officials before. Just don’t know where old Third Chen hid the things after stealing them. The officials couldn’t find any evidence, so the sufferer could only let it go in the end and admit that they were unlucky!”

"Then it is really a disaster?" You Jin asked, feeling a sense of crisis. Most of her family members were helpless females. If old Third Chen set their eyes on them, there would be a catastrophe!

Uncle Wang helplessly shook his head. Who can say for sure?

WLOBSWCH 1

##WAS CONSIDERING THIS AND STARTED BUT DISCOVERED IS ALREADY BEING TRANSLATED by BEAUTYBRUTE##


Chapter 1 Abused

When Ning Yi opened her eyes, she was sitting in a luxurious ward.

In her hand, she held a needle. There was blood on the needle tip.

Apparently, it just finished pricking someone.

Ning Yi had never used such a humorous cold weapon since the apocalypse began. She thought to herself: Good heaven?

——Transmigrated me became Rong Momo?

Following this, she was given the plot of a rich and brainless doting novel. Soon, she learned: the very handsome man on the hospital bed who had just been impaled by her was Gu Cheng, the strongest business emperor in the book. He had laid down in vegetative state for three years.

In the original book, the female lead Ding Zi Yue and Gu Cheng had an arranged marriage for young. Because of this, she had always been envied by the known heiresses. Who would have thought that the bigshot wouldn’t wake up for a long time. Fortunately, she found out that she was the fake daughter who had been swapped by mistake. When the real daughter Ning Yi was found from the countryside, the task of marrying a vegetable was naturally pushed to her. Not only that, Ding Zi Yue was also found by her real family members, who were even more powerful wealthy families. She was spoiled as the apple of the eye!

While Ning Yi didn't have a single good day. She just returned to wealthy clan and became a widow on Ding Zi Yue’s behalf. Under the comparison of Ding Zi Yue's pampered life, it was hard for her mentality not to be distorted. So she abused her disabled husband to vent her anger.

Little did she know that the boss's consciousness had been passively trapped in his body and remained aware all along. Though he lost all five senses, he retained the pain sensory! Being abused made him even blackened even more. Later, when he rose up, he once again swept the entire business world. Ning Yi, the vicious psycho, was naturally the first to be tortured.

After reading the garbage plot, Ning Yi didn't know which one was more unlucky; the bigshot or her.

She felt that if the two of them can switch places, they should have a resonance.

They were both aggrieved ones on horseback.

However, injustice was injustice. Ning Yi spent three years in the apocalypse. She basically lost her sense of morality and sympathy along with her quality of life. She only thought about countermeasures that were beneficial to him.

Today was the first time that the original body owner was allowed visitation after marrying into Gu Family. Outside the ward, almost all the rich and famous people from City A gathered. Most of these people looked down on the original owner. If Gu Cheng doesn’t awake, they would ridicule her for being a widow. If Gu Cheng wakes up, they would ridicule her for being unworthy.

Ning Yi held the needle, pointed at the boss, and seriously considered——

Since he had already been stabbed, why not just stab him to death? This way, she avoid being abused back later.

But her mind turned. Now, it was a society ruled by law. It wasn’t advisable to casually be violent.

Ning Yi yawned in distress. After finally leaving the apocalyptic world with much difficulty, she transmigrated into such a b character. When will the simple dream of eating, drinking, lying down, and sleeping soundly come true?

She simply grasped the needle and closed her eyes: "Why don't I lie down for you, husband."

Of course, this was just a random thought in her mind.

However, there was a sudden slight fluctuation in the air. Like a gust of wind brushing the hospital bed past her ears. As if something had changed.

Ning Yi's senses were sharp. She immediately opened her eyes.

But discovered—why was it still dark in front of her eyes?

Not only that, but all the noises that were always buzzing because of her excellent hearing had also disappeared. The whole world was only left with the soft and fluffy feeling under the body.

? Why was this a bit like...

And as if to confirm Ning Yi's guess, ‘Ning Yi’ who was sitting by the bed slowly stood up.

The moment ‘she’ opened her eyes, there was a dark light in her eyes. Like a beast that had been locked in a cage for too long. He peeped cautiously and gloomily at this long-lost light.

After getting used to standing and seeing things normally, Gu Cheng saw himself lying on the bed for the first time.

He fell into silence. Soul out of body?

But when he slowly raised his hand, a white wrist belonging to a woman entered his sight. Five very slender fingers...and a needle.

Gu Cheng narrowed his eyes. It turned out that he was actually transferred into this person's body.

Ning Yi mentally cursed.

An inexplicable sense of connection made her know clearly that she actually switched bodies with bigshot.

If she had known earlier, she would have thrown the needle away first. Ah no - if she had known earlier, sheI would have stabbed him to death!

Gu Cheng had already picked up the needle and examined it.

The sharp pain in his arm just now, "—is this it?"

Ning Yi heard this cold and magnetic voice and realized that the two of them could telepathically speak after the exchange. So she picked up what little politeness she had left and explained: "I didn't stab you. It’s all a misunderstanding... ..."

However, before she could finish speaking, she felt the cold needle tip land on her arm and slowly move away; causing goosebumps.

"--Scared?"

Gu Cheng lowered his eyes, looking at his body without any emotion. Maliciousness brewed in his heart: "How does this feel?"

Can't see, can't move. Darkness without days or sun. Complete at the mercy of others.

Fate treated him harshly and even taught such a minor body to dare to step on his head.

Now that he was awake, don't blame...

"?"

Before the black aura in Gu Cheng's eyes permeated, he suddenly laid back in his body again.

And Ning Yi stood at the head of the bed, blinking her eyes.

——Apologies, she just casually thought about it and the result was that they exchanged again.

So the exchange was this casual!

As long as she thought about it, it worked???

On the other end, Gu Cheng obviously realized that the body swapping was under the control of the other party. His heart instantly sank heavily - in this case, he was completely passive and controlled.

What would this vicious woman do?

——Ning Yi looked at the boss on the bed, the cog in mind gradually turned.

Unexpectedly, this garbage transmigration book had a magical use.

She was surrounded by all kinds of mutant noises in the apocalypse. Being constantly in danger and tense, she hadn't slept a full night in three years. Now there was a soft and clean place where she can sleep——

Wasn't bigshot's body a double bedroom in a silent zero-pressure five-star hotel? And she can check in anytime for free.

Ning Yi: ——Fortunately, he wasn’t stabbed to death! TvT

So Ning Yi methodically disposed of the stolen ‘cold weapons’ and stuffed a juicy and sweet orange into her mouth. Then she patted the bigshot on the shoulder and took the initiative to smoothly exchange bodies with him again.

After doing all this, Ning Yi got her wish and laid down on the bed peacefully.

When Gu Cheng opened his eyes again, he stood by the bed again.

Looking down, the needle in his hand had been wiped clean.

It was even bent into a heart shape.

Ning Yi slowly closed her eyes: "Husband, here’s a heart."

Gu Cheng: "..."

He clenched his palms tightly. His eyes filled with gloom.

This woman should be the wife arranged by his family. A person who was vicious enough to abuse her husband and suddenly pretends to be affectionate, had no other purpose than seeking more benefits.

Gu Cheng lowered his eyes and calmly turned the hospital bed into a negotiating table: "I think you know my identity. If we cooperate, I can give you everything you want."

On the other side, there was silence. No sound.

Gu Cheng's heart sank even more. The glint in his eyes changed a few times.

It seemed that this woman wasn’t an idiot who only knew how to prick people with needles. On the contrary, she was quite scheming and calm.

Gu Cheng controlled his tone, taking a retreat to advance: "Of course, the initiative is yours, if you..."

He spoke in a low tone until his mouth was almost parched and the other party remained silent. She was like a master who was well versed in the game.

A bit of fear finally appeared on Gu Cheng's gloomy and indifferent face.

——"What exactly do you want?"

After a while, the other party finally responded.

Ning Yi: "zzZZZ"

Gu Cheng: "?"

Gu Cheng: "..."

Gu Cheng’s three years of endurance almost reached breaking point.

She was f***ing snoring.

At this time, outside the ward.

Because the door hadn’t been opened for a long time, the fame heiresses gradually became restless.

Ning Yi hadn't come out for so long. So Young Master Gu really woke up, right??

After all, the business empire that Gu Cheng single-handedly created was still operating according to his rules. The market value of Gu Group was still unmatched in City A. Thinking of Gu Cheng's handsome and flawless face... In fact, as long as Young Master Gu can open his eyes, there would still be countless people who want to marry him.

Everyone was a little bit unwilling to admit defeat. But no one dared to bet on that one in a million.

Among the crowd, only Ding Zi Yue smiled calmly. It was the gesture of a much-loved winner in life.

Others didn't know why Ning Yi didn't come out of Gu Cheng’s ward for a long time, but Ding Zi Yue knew- because she knew what would happen in the future through a dream! Now her blackened-heart younger sister must have started to abuse Gu Cheng.

Ding Zi Yue smiled lightly—it was a pity that Ning Yi wouldn’t know even if she was killed that Gu Cheng can perceive all this and will wake up soon!

So as long as she finds an opportunity to patch up Gu Cheng after Ning Yi's abuse and heal him, then after Gu Cheng rises strongly... she will be the light that helps Gu Cheng overcome the darkness!

Just as she was thinking, the door of the ward suddenly opened——

Gu Cheng expressionlessly walked out from the inside. His face was full of gloom and frost.

Though he was currently in Ning Yi's body, he made everyone waiting outside quiet down.

Such a cold beauty...

Although country bumpkin heiress Ning Yi wasn’t worthy to show off, she was really beautiful... Her facial features were already exquisite. Her doe eyes were half-closed. The tails of her eyes were beautiful and deep. Her upper lip was thin and curled, while her lower lip was just the right thickness. She was thin but very temperamental. The cold aura lingering at this time added a bit of mystery to her.

"Damn it, was she this beautiful from the start?" someone whispered.

A fame heiress nearby curled her lips in disdain. What was the use of being beautiful?

From this expression, one can tell that Gu Cheng had definitely not woke up. Otherwise, why would ‘Ning Yi’ look so mournful?

For a moment, the fame heiresses all felt disappointed and relieved. They gathered around to scan ‘Ning Yi’ up and down at.

Gu Cheng hadn't been in contact with anyone for a long time, so he felt very uncomfortable. He coldly uttered, "Get out of the way."

The cold, oppressive aura of a superior actually made the few people who gathered around to the front stagnate.

Soon followed this was amused anger. Ning Yi was pretty good at acting, wasn't she?

Gu Cheng hadn't woken up yet and she, an outcast from a wealthy family, dared to show off?

Someone sarcastically mocked: "Oh, with this posture, those who didn't know would think that Young Master Gu himself is here?"

The people next to him echoed: "For someone from the village, marrying into Gu Family had already achieved a class leap~ of course she would hold an attitude, no?"

Gu Cheng indifferently matched these faces. In the past, they always had a smile on their face.

He had never seen their faces like this.

Ding Zi Yue stepped out at the right time. With sympathy and understanding for Ning Yi, she softly spoke, "Stop talking like that, Xiao Yi must be feeling depressed..." Otherwise, how could she abuse Gu Cheng?

Everyone knew that Ding Zi Yue had just been recognized by Ding Family and was bathing in the limelight of doting. And Gu Family’s eldest son was her flower protector. Due to this, they all gavel her face.

"Yue Yue is really kind-hearted~"

"As expected of a real daughter of a fame family!"

Ding Zi Yue smiled modestly, but her eyes couldn’t hide her pride and complacency.

She glanced at the door of the ward. Although she really wanted to immediately heal Young Master Gu who was suffering, there were too many people around her. No rush.

So she grabbed ‘Ning Y’" and acted very close, "Come, let me show you around Gu's house."

Gu Cheng: "?"

Tall Gu Ze Yu strode over, "Yue Yue, I'll accompany you."

Ding Zi Yue naturally didn’t refuse. Gu Ze Yu's protective posture will definitely stimulated Ning Yi. The more twisted her mentality became, the more her kindness will be highlighted!

"Let's go~" she said with a slight smile.

Gu Cheng didn’t refuse.

He took this opportunity to observe the current situation of Gu Family and make up for the missing three years as soon as possible. Calculating the time, the project he promoted before the accident should be returning funds now.

Walking in Gu Family's magnificent manor, Ding Zi Yue smiled brightly and reminisced, "Ah, here——I used to come here to play when I was young. Auntie Song Lan like me very much back then. Unfortunately, I’m not the daughter-in-law now..."

After finishing speaking, Ding Zi Yue seemed to have just remembered that these words would hurt ‘Ning Yi’ and quickly said: "Ah, I'm sorry Elder Sister, I didn't mean that."

Gu Cheng took a look at her instead.

What a low-grade green tea.

From the side, Gu Ze Yu impatiently remarked: "Yue Yue, why are you always apologizing to her? Haven't you already given up your position to her? What is she still dissatisfied with?"

That kind of domineering protection was something little girls can't resist.

Ding Zi Yue blushed. Secretly, she observed ‘Ning Yi’ and was satisfied to see the thoughtful expression on his face.

Gu Cheng certainly remembered Gu Ze Yu.

He turned his head to look at him and calmly uttered, "You lost your script and forgot your speech at Gu Family's shareholders' meeting the year before last and cried. Did you become the executive director later?"

However, Gu Ze Yu's face changed at once. No one knew about this except the elders who were present at the time. How could Ning Yi, who had just joined the wealthy family, know about it?!

He subconsciously turned to Ding Zi Yue: "You told her?!"

Ding Zi Yue opened her eyes wide and quickly denied, "How could that be!"

She really didn't expect that she would underestimate Ning Yi! She actually started to sow discord in her relationship with Gu Ze Yu?!

Sure enough, people with a blackened mentality were like this. If they aren't happy, they don’t want to see others happy!

Ding Zi Yue didn't have the mind to care about him. She was busy proving her innocence with Gu Ze Yu first.

While Gu Cheng paid them no heed at all.

He didn't even care if doing so would make enemies for Ning Yi.

——What does that woman's situation have to do with him?

He was about to go to the main house to have a look when a long yawn sounded in his ears.

Ning Yi woke up.

This sleep wasn't long, but it was a deep sleep she hadn't had for a long time!

Ning Yi laid on the bed, feeling limp and weak all over. She was blissed that she didn't even want to get up.

At this time, telepathy seemed very convenient. She asked Gu Cheng, "Where are you?"

Gu Cheng looked around and coldly replied coldly, "The back kitchen."

Ning Yi pleasantly exclaimed: "How do you know I'm hungry? Let's change back?"

Gu Cheng sneered. Apart from sleeping, it was eating for this woman.

First of all, he just happened to arrived here.

Secondly, if Ning Yi wanted to change, he had no control over it.

However, after several seconds, the two still didn't switch back.

Ning Yi's doubtful voice came over: "Eh? Why can't I change?"

—Broken?

Gu Cheng’s steps paused.

It seemed that even though the power on her side, the exchange time...or the number of times, have some restrictions.

Then - he wasn’t completely passive in front of her.

The corners of Gu Cheng's lips slowly curled into a smile. The dark malice in his eyes flooded like a tide.

With great difficulty, Ding Zi Yue managed to comfort Gu Ze Yu. She was upset at first, but when she turned her head and saw ‘Ning Yi’ with an evil coldness on her face, she immediately felt better again.

That was right. It was this kind of gaze. ‘Ning Yi’ must be mentally distorted to the point of insanity!

Gu Cheng left the back kitchen with the corners of his lips hooked.

Ning Yi on the opposite side tried a few times but couldn't swap for the time being. She no longer persisted on it.

"Husband—then can you bring me some cakes, Husband~" Ning Yi called out without any sense of shame, "I haven't eaten it for a few years. I want a chocolate flavor."

"—Oh." Gu Cheng almost sneered.

"Ning Yi," he frigidly called her name, "I advise you to have some respect."

Ning Yi laid on the bed and sighed inwardly.

She knew it. He would flip his face in a second!

Fortunately, she was well prepared.

Her tone was concerned: "If you don't bring it to me, I'll drool on your face."

Gu Cheng: "?"

Ning Yi laid on the bed and leisurely babbled, "I tried it. The corner of your mouth can move about 1mm. Moreover, someone is holding your hand now. It should be your mother."

Gu Cheng: "..."

Ning Yi: "How about it?"

After a pause, she became demented: "Abaa, baa..."

Gu Cheng: "Enough!"

The veins on his forehead were bulging. His black aura seemed to have physical form.

After half a day.

"Chocolate flavor, right?"

Chapter 158


Xiao Qiao suddenly sat up from the bed with a gloomy expression on her face.

She dreamed about things from her previous life again.

In her previous life, she was trapped in that fool's body. Unable to speak or move, she had to face the life of being ridiculed every day. Then there was a Da Qiao beside her for comparison!

So after she found out that she was reborn again, she wanted to kill Da Qiao. Unexpectedly, Da Qiao was too lucky. She survived even when she fell into the pit trap!

She and Huo Cai Jun had been in the Shen City for almost two years. She originally thought that Shen City was full of gold and with her prediction of the future, she will be able to make a lot of money as soon as she got here. Unforeseen, things weren’t simple as they imagined.

The two of them had no start-up capital. So they can only start from small things. She had thought about selling her ideas to others. However, the first problem was that she had no access to rich bosses at all. Second, she was afraid of her secret being discovered by the other party and get controlled by the other party.

She had seen many such things in other books. She dared not take risks with herself against sinister hearts.

Relying on themselves to accumulate start-up funds bit by bit was tedious. First, they went near the station to sell food. Day in, day out, they fared against the weather. Not only were they exhausted, they also had to pay various protection fees. Once the money falls into their hands, it wasn’t much at all!

The most annoying thing was that Huo Cai Jun was lazy and useless. She didn't understand how he became the richest man in the previous life!

Moreover, they had been in Shen City so long and had never found out about his biological father's whereabouts. These depressing days made her lose patience day by day!

At this moment, the door was pushed open with a squeak. Huo Cai Jun walked in from the outside.

Xiao Qiao glanced at him before lay down again. Then she pulled up the quilt to cover her head.

Huo Cai Jun came over and sat by the bed. He placed his hands on her slim body: "Jiao Jiao, what’s wrong? Are you still angry with me?"

Xiao Qiao stretched out a hand from under the quilt and heavily slapped his hand away, "Don't touch me!"

Huo Cai Jun's complexion instantly darkened: "Jiao Jiao, what are you doing? Are you disdaing me, Huo Cai Jun, for being useless now?"

They had been in Shen City for almost two years. Her attitude toward him was changing day by day. He wasn’t fool. He can naturally see this.

He felt that Jiao Jiao had always looked down on him and treated him with an attitude of being superior. Just like when he was still on the farm, she would give him food every once in a while. He was indeed very grateful to her at that time.

But he was no longer a wicked one. Neither was more noble than anyone else. Why should she look down on him?

Besides, she was a weak woman who came to Shen City. If it wasn't for him, the man, she would had been eaten by others long ago!

"What are you thinking about all day long? I haven't thought that. By the way, you should go to open the shop today. I'm not feeling well. I'll go there in the afternoon!"

Xiao Qiao felt irk at the sound of his voice. But she didn't want to give up on him just yet.

Huo Cai Jun was like a chicken rib to her now. Tasteless to eat, but also a pity to discard it!

Huo Cai Jun saw how perfuntory her words were. When speaking, she didn't even look at him from the beginning to the end. His face became even more ugly.

A gloomy glint flashed in his eyes while he said on the surface: "Okay, I'll go then. This is the breakfast I bought for you. The soy milk is still hot. You can drink it now."

Xiao Qiao originally wanted to say put it there and she’ll drink it later. However, they had quarreled a good few times in the past few days. The relationship was very tense. Now Huo Cai Jun was willing to bow his head. If she refuses, the relationship between the two will only get worse.

She still doesn't want to give up tasteless chicken rib Huo Cai Jun. So she swallowed the irritability in her heart, sat up, and drank the soy milk.

Huo Cai Jun watched her eat both the soy milk and the steamed stuffed bun with a strange smile on his lips.

Xiao Qiao found his reaction a little strange. A niggling feeling surged in her heart. The next moment, her head began to feel dizzy.

Her complexion changed at once. The ominous feeling in her heart became more and more intense: "I...why am I so dizzy? You put.. in soy milk..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she fell backwards. She was knocked out.

Huo Cai Jun looked at her with a sneer. Then he began to rummage through the boxes. After a long while, he found for the deed of the shop that had hidden by her under the bed.

How sneaky! To actually stick the property deed on the back of the bed. No wonder he couldn't find it before!

Holding the house deed certificate, he glanced at Xiao Qiao's curvy figure. His adam’s apple bobbed. In the end, he rushed out without touching her.

By the time Xiao Qiao woke up, it was already too late.

The store she had saved for two years was sold by Huo Cai Jun. And all the valuables in the house were taken away by him. Not a dime was left for her!

Xiao Qiao was so pissed that she almost vomited blood. She smashed everything in the rental house!

——

The weather was getting colder and colder. The dripping water turned into ice.

Da Qiao originally thought about skipping a grade in her third year. But she finished all her second year’s subjects ahead of time. So she advanced her plan.

She had already submitted an application to the department for skipping grades. In this year’s final exam, she will take the exam along with the third years. If her grades can reach above excellent, the school will approve the application for skipping grades.

When the third years saw Da Qiao walk into the classroom, all eyes were on her.

All the third-year students recognise this junior sister, Da Qiao. After all, as a flower in their Finance and Economics Department. As soon as she came to register, a sensation stirred through the entire department at once.

The news that she was the top scorer in the college entrance examination was dug up by everyone. What they didn't expect was the junior sister to be so powerful and finish two years of courses in just one year!

How embarrassing was this for them as senior brothers and sisters?

Da Qiao was used to other people's eyes focusing on her. As long as these gazes were harmless, she wouldn’t care.

She found her seat and sat down. The pen and paper were taken. After that, she quietly waited for the invigilator to arrive.

Suddenly, a girl sitting behind her poked her back with a pen.

Turning around, she softly spoke, "Senior Sister, are you looking for me?"

The girl's eyes fell on her fair and smooth face. She said enviously: "Junior Sister, I heard that your family sells dried roses, which are good for the skin after drinking. Is it true?"

When the girl poked Da Qiao, the boys’ ears pricked up, wanting to hear what questions she would ask. They didn't expect such a precious opportunity was to ask such useless topics. What a waste!

Da Qiao pursed her lips into a slight smile, "If the dried roses are bought from my shop, it will indeed be useful. If you buy them from other places, then I can't guarantee the effect!"

After Cai Ru Nan consumed the dried roses she gave her, her skin got better day by day. In addition, she started to pay attention to dressing up after falling in love. It had immediately attracted the attention of other girls.

So many people asked her what skin care products she used. At first, she didn't want to say. But she couldn't win against people asking her every day. In the end, she explained that she used the dried roses that Da Qiao gave her.

After everyone knew about it, they came to Da Qiao one after another, wanting to buy dried roses from her.

Da Qiao remembered what happened in high school. So she told them to go to her family’s store to buy them. She won't sell them herself.

Only then did everyone know that Da Qiao's family was so rich. She was actually a heiress!

Some people went to the store to buy it. It was effective as soon as it was consumed. So the reputation of dried roses gradually spread in schools.

Da Qiao was worried that someone will sell counterfeit dried roses. So the dried roses she grew were only sold in her family's store. This way, it can prevent subsequent troubles.

When the senior sister heard this, her eyes fell on her flawless face again. She instantly made up her mind, "Okay, I'll buy it after the exam!"

After finishing speaking, the invigilator came in. Da Qiao quickly turned around.

Da Qiao had completed all her second year subjects by herself and had mastered them thoroughly. So the test questions for this final exam weren’t difficult for her.

Exam week passed in the blink of an eye like a tense cloud.

After the exam, everyone packed up their things again and prepared to go home for the New Year.

This time, Da Qiao wasn’t the only perosn Cai Ru Nan couldn’t bear to part. There was an addition of Tang Han Hai.

At first, Da Qiao wasn’t very optimistic about Tang Han Hai. After all, the first impression he left on her was too terrible. In addition, he also have a vicious younger cousin sister, Tang Miao Shan. So it was really difficult for her to have a good impression of him.

Tang Han Hai had become a changed man. Not did he seriously went to work in his dad's factory every day, but also picked up his textbooks to study again under Cai Ru Nan's supervision.

The ones who was happiest with Tang Han Hai’s change wasn’t Cai Ru Nan, but Tang Han Hai's family members. Especially Tang Han Hai's dad. He even hid secretly and wiped away tears a few times.

He thought this son would be useless in this life. Every time he woke up at night, what he worried most was that after they left, his son would starve to death!

That day, when Tang Han Hai suddenly went home and told him that he was going to work, he looked at him like he had seen a ghost. He couldn’t recover his senses for a long time.

At first, he thought it was passing interest for his son. He had even suspected that he was doing this to cheat money from him. Later, he witnessed his son punctually coming to the factory to work every day and asked the factory's old masters for advice. Only then, he believed he had really reformed!

He inquired from his group of gangster friends. The reason for such a change was because of a female college student. She told him to do this.

After he found out, he secretly told the news to other members of the family. The family members were very grateful to the girl and looked forward to Tang Han Hai bringing her home.

Right at this moment, Cai Ru Nan was hugging Da Qiao. She remarked with a look of reluctance: "I won't see you for a few months. I don't even want to go back!"

Da Qiao hooked her lips and pushed her lightly: "Your match is waiting for you below. SHouldn’t you hurry up?"

Cai Ru Nan curled her lips and said, "Let him wait!"

At the side, Song Yu Lian was also packing up her things. Hearing this, she suddenly yelled to Chen Xiao Lan: "My match is waiting for me below. I won't wait for you. See you next year!"

This semester, Song Yu Lian started dating. It was heard the guy was a third year in the Department of Mechanical Engineering who came from the same place as her.

An envious glance flashed from Chen Xiao Lan's eyes and she responded, "Oh, alright See you next year!"

Song Yu Lian used to be very envious and jealous that Da Qiao and Cai Ru Nan had a match. Especially toward Cai Ru Nan.

In her opinion, Cai Ru Nan looks like a he-woman. She never thought that such a person would be wanted by a man. And would find a match before her. She couldn’t accept it.

So when her senior brother from the same village pursued her, she only held back for a moment before agreeing.

At this moment, she walked past the two of them with her chest up and a proud expression on her face.

Seeing her like this, Cai Ru Nan's eyes almost rolled up to the ceiling.

Seeing her like this, Da Qiao couldn't help pursing her lips in amusement.

After packing up their things, they went downstairs together.

When Huo Chi and Tang Han Hai saw their match, they immediately went to take their suitcase.

As boyfriends, both of them were very considerate. However, Tang Han Hai was a novice. He was soon overshadowed by Huo Chi.

He put the coat he prepared early on on Da Qiao. Then a hand warmer pack was taken out of his pocket and placed in her hand: "Take this to warm your hands. Don't freeze."

Da Qiao raised her head and curled her lips: "Thank you Elder Brother Huo Chi!"

Huo Chi dotingly looked at her: "Let's go. I have prepared a lot of food in the car. There’s ginger and sugar water. After you get in the car, take a sip to rid off the chill."

Facing such a caring object, Da Qiao felt warm in her heart.

While on the other side, Cai Ru Nan looked at Tang Han Hai who was empty-handed. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Is that how you came here?"

No hand warmer, no jacket, no food. Just brought himself here?

Under this cold wintry weather, Tang Han Hai broke out in a cold sweat: "...About that, Cai Cai, I have no experience. I will definitely change next time!"

Angry, Cai Ru Nan pouted her mouth.

Sure enough, comparison makes a man miserable!

But when she reached the school gate, her anger dissipated.

Because she saw Song Yu Lian carrying a few heavy luggage bags and the person standing next to her didn't seem to want to share the burden for her.

Sure enough, comparison makes a man miserable!

She walked in front of Song Yu Lian with her chest puffed up. Under the other party’s gaze she got into the car driven by Tang Han Hai and departed away.

Song Yu Lian watched two people in her dorm got into the car and left. And she had to wait here for other fellow villagers to come over. Afterward, they’ll a long way to squeeze into a bus. A burst of irritation sprouted in her heart

——

After the holiday started, the year end was getting closer and closer.

On this day, Da Qiao, her grandfather, her grandmother, and several younger siblings went shopping for new year's goods together.

Although her family runs a store, some things were still unavailable and need to be bought in a department store.

After shopping around, everyone's hands were full.

Suddenly, a boy with very handsome facial features walked towards him. Da Qiao recognized him as little Dong Yun's little friend in the choir.

The reason why she knew him was because little Dong Yun had once came back from the choir, took out a photo, and pointed to a little boy on it. She told her that she liked that little boy very much. He was good-looking and sang very well .

Da Qiao wasn’t worried about younger sister falling in love at such a young age. After all, look at her innocent expression. She didn’t understanc anything. She chatted with her like a friend about him.

Since then, she had often heard things about this little boy.

That was why she recognized him immediately when she saw him.

She touched little Dong Yun and pointed out, "Dong Yun, isn't that your little friend in the choir? Do you want to go up and say hello to him?"

She thought little Dong Yun would definitely nod and say yes. Instead, she saw her head shake, "Elder Sister, I don't like him anymore!"

Da Qiao was stumped for a moment: "Why don't you like him all of a sudden?"

Little Dong Yun sighed like a little grown-up: "One time when the choir was practicing, I saw him secretly scratching his butthole with his hand. So I don't like him anymore!!"

Da Qiao: "………………"

Chapter 157


Da Qiao was taken aback when she heard her words.

Soon, she caught on. Looking at her in surprise, she uttered, "Ru Nan, you like that hooligan?"

Cai Ru Nan quickly explained: "Da Qiao, I know you have a bad impression of him. After all, he had once wanted to hurt you. I have already asked him. That time he just wanted to scare you, never thought of truly touching you. He never expected to be beaten by you instead!"

She wasn’t someone who got carried away when she was in love. She had confirmed that Tang Han Hai had never done anything harmful before agreeing to him.

Tang Han Hai was just a lazy bum. He does nothing all day long with a group of gangsters. But they had never done anything bad. If they did, they would have been arrested and sent to prison long ago.

Da Qiao raised her eyebrows: "I have never met him before and there were no grievances or enmities between us. Why was he trying to scare me?"

Reaching this matter, Cai Ru Nan became agitated: "Do you still remember Tang Miao Shan, who is a year older than us? She is Tang Han Hai's younger cousin sister. She asked Tang Han Hai to deal with you. I heard that she wanted gangsters to destroy your innocence!"

When Da Qiao heard this, her brows frowned even tighter: "I remember her. But why did she do this?"

After finishing speaking, she suddenly remembered the scene when she came to Jinghua College to register on the first day. She recalled the way she looked at Elder Brother Huo Chi. Could it be... because of Elder Brother Huo Chi?

The next moment, Cai Ru Nan confirmed her conjecture: "I heard that she fell in love with your match long ago and wanted to be with your match. But when your match has you, she wants to destroy you! This woman is so vicious. She deserves to have acne all over her face!"

Cai Ru Nan gritted her teeth. Afterward, she put in good words for Tang Han Hai again: "After Tang Han Hai promised his younger cousin sister, he just brought people over to scare you and want you to automatically break up with Huo Chi. He never thought of destroying your innocence! Also, he wants to find a chance...to apologize to you!"

Da Qiao didn't expect such a story was hidden in this matter.

She only bumped into Tang Miao Shan once or twice at school and had never spoke to the other. The other party wanted to destroy her innocence. This person was simply terrifying!

Seeing that Da Qiao was silent, Cai Ru Nan was so anxious that she was sweating profusely: "Da Qiao, do you object to me being with him?"

When Da Qiao heard this, she came back to her senses: "Ru Nan, this is your own choice. I will not interfere. Just as your friend, I want to advise you to think carefully. Even if he has never done anything harmful, he isn’t a good match after all. He is doing nothing all day long. If you guys get married in the future, you’re going to support him?"

Cai Ru Nan shook her head: "He said he would change it. He talked with his dad yesterday. He will go to work in his dad's factory starting today and will definitely work hard in the future!"

She thought of giving him a chance because she saw that he was willing to make changes for her.

Tang Han Hai had being trying to get close to her since last semester. He confessed to her that he approached first her only because he wanted Da Qiao to be his master through her. That was why he robbed her and chuckled at her from time to time. For as period of time, she can someone chuckling ‘hehehe’ in her dreams.

She can't remember when the relationship between the two began to change. Anyway, he often brought her food and bought her all kinds of things that girls like. Although she didn't accept any of them, her heart did gradually sink.

It lasted until last week when she was pestered by a scavenger while walking on the road. If Tang Han Hai hadn't rushed over in time, she couldn't imagine the consequences!

Da Qiao’s brows knotted again after hearing how the two of them got to know each other: "Why didn't you tell me about the scavenger?"

Cai Ru Nan said with an apologetic expression: "I was afraid of worrying you. And because the person who saved me was Tang Han Hai, I'm worried that you'll dislike him. So..."

Because of this hero saving the beauty act, she was a little moved. But due to fear of Da Qiao objecting, she was always hesitant.

Seeing that she had been speaking for Tang Han Hai from the beginning to the end, Da QIao sighed in her heart: "My grandmother said that no matter what a person does, it’s fine as long as he can bear the consequences of the matter. My impression of Tang Han Hai is still very bad. But since you chose him, then I hope he will reform himself!"

Agitated, Cai Ru Nan repeatedly nodded: "En en, he will definitely. If he become idle again, I will break up with him immediately!"

Since Da QIao was her best friend in college, she hoped to get Da Qiao's support. Well, at least not be against it.

As for Tang Han Hai, she was putting him on trial and observing him for now. If he fails, no matter how much she likes him, she will break up with him!

Besides, if he continues to do nothing like this, her parents will definitely not agree to the two of them being together no matter how rich his family was!

Later, under the arrangement of Cai Ru Nan, Da Qiao met with Tang Han Hai and his gang of gangsters.

Don’t know if it was the power of love,Tang Han Hai was a complete change man compared to the first time. He was wearing a suit and there was no longer that expression that asked for a beating on his face.

They apologized to her as soon as they came. Five-six of them bowed to her and apologized in unison. It frightened the proprietress of the shop to almost drop the bowl.

It can be seen that Tang Han Hai really liked Cai Ru Nan very much at the moment. When eating, he kept clipping Cai Ru Nan food. A manly woman like Cai Ru Nan learnt to act cute under the nourishment of love.

After this meal, Da Qiao's impression of Tang Han Hai changed a little. Still, she maintained a wait-and-see attitude.

However, Cai Ru Nan looked like a little girl in love. She who never wore dresses, actually wore dresses and started to grow her hair.

Song Yu Lian noticed Cai Ru Nan's change and wanted to get news from Da Qiao. Da Qiao didn't give her half a glance. This made Song Yu Lian vexed.

——

After Huo Chi skipped a grade to senior year, he became busy.

Not only did he have to deal with his studies, but he and two other boys started to prepare to start a company.

The country's communication construction started very late. On top of that, there was turmoil in midst of it. It resulted in the country's technological development being in a delayed state.

The country proposed economic reform and opening up in 1978. The economy had indeed developed greatly in recent years, but this wasn’t enough.

Huo Chi keenly grasped that. In order to develop the economy, technology must be develope. Communication was a crucial part of it!

Country Mi developed the world's first pager in 1948. While their country only opened the first pager in Hu City last year in 1983. Until now, many people still didn't know the existence of beepers.

Huo Chi obtained a few beeper through his contacts. After research, he found that the beepers had great deficiencies and flaws.

The beeper currently used in Hu City transmits information through analog signals. Users can only receive the signal, but cannot see the content of the signal. One had to call the paging station and ask them to check to get the caller's number.

This process was cumbersome and inconvenient. If one can’t find a phone nearby, then one won’t be able to know the caller’s number. And if one call the paging station, the line will often be busy and waiting was required. More importantly, the paging station wasn’t open 24 hours a day.

In other words, once the people at the paging station leave work, the beeper got off work too.

There were too many restrictions here. It was very inconvenient to use and the price of a beeper wasn’t cheap. Therefore, it was difficult to spread to the market.

What Huo Chi and his two classmates wanted to do was to improve the beeper!

After Huo Chi became busy, Da Qiao’s meeting with him decreased. However, as long as he had time, he would definitely come over to eat with her.

Da Qiao wasn’t the kind of little girl who needed to be accompanied all the time. Huo Chi was making progress. She had never stopped making progress either.

While preparing to skip a grade, she also took an extra course of English.

After Cai Ru Nan knew that she was going to skip a grade, she felt very sad. It was just everyone's ability was different. Da Qiao can easily manage so many subjects, but she can't.

Da Qiao comforted her that even if she skipped a grade, she would still live in the dorm and they would still be friends.

——

In a blink of an eye, a semester was about to end again.

This year, Qiao Dong Ying was already a third-year student. Because she was admitted to a junior college, she will graduate next summer.

After graduation, she will face the question of where to go. Should she stay in the provincial capital to find a job, or go to the capital.

Shen Tian You will take the college entrance examination next semester. His goal was the college in the capital.

He considering how Qiao Family was in the capital. Elder Sister Ying would definitely choose to go to the capital in the end. That was why he had to go study there. Only then, he would have a chance to get close to her.

Qiao An Jie skipped a grade again. At the age of ten, he was now in the third year of junior high school. He will take the senior high school entrance examination next semester.

Qiao An Xu and little Dong Yun continued to be in contract with Haisheng Filming after they became popular. But because they still had to attend classes, they only went to film or record songs during summer and winter vacations.

In order to keep them, Haisheng Filming had no choice but to agree to this condition.

Qiao Zhen Jun's store had already established a firm foothold in the capital. Its scale was several times larger than that in Yunlai Town. It can be called daily progress.

Qiao Zhen Min originally planned to open a branch in the capital this year. However, the plan couldn’t keep up with the changes. The plan was shelved.

There was a problem with the partnership between him and Wu Kang Bao.

He and Wu Kang Bao have known each other for many years. The relationship between the two was once as good as brothers. Back then, Wu Kang Bao liked Chu Sheng Mei. And because he also liked Chu Sheng Mei, he voluntarily quit.

He kept all of this in his heart.

Although their cooperation had occasional small conflicts in the past few years, it was still harmonious on the whole.

But this relationship began to change after Wu Kang Bao met his current girlfriend Yao Xin Xin.

Yao Xin Xin encouraged Wu Kang Bao; saying that he was in the company on his own, while Qiao Zhen Min couple was in charge of the company. This was unfair to him. If the couple tampered a little, he wouldn’t notice.

Wu Kang Bao naturally didn't believe this at first. However, he couldn't stand the win against blowing in his ears all the time. After a long time, doubt had gradually embedded in his heart.

After several quarrels and conflicts between the two, Wu Kang Bao suddenly proposed to let Yao Xin Xin join the company and become the fourth boss.

It went without saying Qiao Zhen Min wasn’t willing.

Anshun Transportation Company was built by them. Why should Yao Xin Xin enjoy the benefits?

However, in Wu Kang Bao's view, his objection had another meaning. The conflict between the two deepened.

At this time, they were sitting together in the office. Both of them had very ugly faces.

Qiao Zhen Min looked at Wu Kang Bao with a frown and spoke, "Kang Bao, we've known each other for so many years. Don't you know what kind of person I am?"

A flash of hesitation flashed in Wu Kang Bao's eyes. In the end, he stated: "Zhen Min, I know what you are like. But in business, can work together, then partner up. If can’t, then everyone peacefully separate. Since you don't want Xin Xin to join in, then let's split up and develop separately!"

Hearing this, Qiao Zhen Min's expression became even uglier. He remained silent for a while before saying, "You really thought it through?"

Wu Kang Bao nodded: "Thought it through!"

"Alright then, we’ll go according to what you want. We will divide and do it separately!"

Qiao Zhen Min's heart was burning with anger. So many years of brotherhood couldn’t compare to a woman whom he had known for half a year!

After speaking, he stood up and was about to go out. Suddenly he stopped. Looking at him, he said, "As a friend, let me give you one last piece of advice. That Yao Xin Xin isn’t a good woman. You'd better be on guard against her a little!"

When Wu Kang Bao heard this, impatience flashed across his face: "Am I so stupid to you? Can't even tell the good from the bad?"

Seeing this, Qiao Zhen Min sneered in his heart, turned around and walked out without saying anything else.

Good words are hard to persuade a damned ghost!

Since he didn't believe it, why should he be a villain?

It takes time to separate and stop the cooperation. Accounts had to be sorted. Also settle how to allocate the company's expanding customers. These all dragged on for a long time.

In other words, this wasn’t something that can be done in a day or two. So Qiao Zhen Min's plan to go to the capital can only be put on hold.

——

When a heavy snowfall came, the capital anxiously entered winter. Many people became ill from the cold.

Little Qi Jin had caught a cold in the past two nights. He had some coughs. But Qiao Dong He and Luo Jun Liang both had to take exams this week. They didn't have time to take him to see a doctor.

While Elder Sister Lan had to take care of the children at home. So she can't leave.

Qiao Dong He had to hand over the child to her parents.

In the past year, her parents had often come to help take care of little Qi Jin. That was why she felt more at ease in handing little Qi Jin over to them.

Qiao Zhen Guo and Wan Chun Ju came to the hospital with their little grandson in their arms. After registering, they sat on chairs in the corridor with little Qi Jin in their arms.

Because the weather dropped so suddenly, many children had caught a cold recently. Sitting next to them was a young mother holding a three-year-old boy in her arms.

Boys at this age are mischievous. The little boy wriggled in his mom’s arms and suddenly whacked little Qi Jin's bald head with his palm.

Little Qi Jin was drinking water when someone suddenly slapped his bald head. He repeatedly coughed in fright.

Wan Chun Ju was so distressed that she berated as she patted little Qi Jin’s back, "How are you watching your child? You scared my little Qi Jin. With such active hands, believe it or not, I will slap him into snoring!"

Although the young woman was very angry at Wan Chun Ju's savagery, it was her son who hit first. So she hugged her son and apologized: "I'm sorry. The child is still small. He didn't mean it!"

Wan Chun Ju wanted to scold, but a nurse came over and told them not to quarrel or they would be kicked out!

Under this circumstance, Wan Chun Ju had no choice but to close her mouth. She was still fuming.

Over the past year, she had often taken care of her little grandson. After getting along for a long time, she had developed feelings for him. That was why she couldn't stand to see little grandson being bullied!

At this side, Qiao Zhen Guo coaxed little Qi Jin. No scolding from him. Wan Chun Ju was very dissatisfied with his cowardly behavior. She turned around and scolded him a bit.

Although little Qi Jin had a slight cough, the doctor said that the problem wasn’t serious. He would be fine soon after drinking some syrup.

Qiao Zhen Guo and Wan Chun Ju both heaved a sigh of relief when they heard this. They walked out of the doctor's office with little Qi Jin in their arms.

Halfway through the corridor, Qiao Zhen Guo suddenly handed little Qi Jin to his wife and stated, "Go out first with little Qi Jin. I have something to do."

Wan Chun Ju was stumped for a moment: "What do you have to do?"

Qiao Zhen Guo ignored her, handed little Qi Jin to her, turned around, and walked back.

He came up to the woman before. He leaned over to the little boy and said, "Injection are very painful. The doctor will use this thick needle to stab your butt hard!"

The little boy was so frightened that he wailed: "I don't want an injection! I don't want an injection..."

Seeing the situation, Qiao Zhen Guo turned around and ran away.

Only then did the little boy's mother come to her senses: "You...don't run away! Who are you? Madman!"

Qiao Zhen Guo listened to the child’s crying from behind. As he ran, he touched his bald patch.

Truly was smartness comes with the top’s end!

Chapter 64 Trouble


Of course, Su Family’s rice bowl wasn’t easy to hold.

After eating this meal, Han brothers were arranged to live with Uncle Hong in the small room on the right side of the courtyard gate at the canal worker's dormitory. The kang was big enough. It wasn't too crowded for three people to sleep in.

You Jin took Han Li brothers around the canal worker's dormitory: "We don't need to take care of the sanitation in each room. Only need to be responsible for the sanitation of the public areas. You have to sweep the front and back yards every day and the toilet must be cleaned regularly. In addition, you can start a fire to boil water inside the compound. That’s why you must pay attention to the problem of fire and not cause a fire to break out. Your daily work are these. Is there any problem?"

Han Li was a relatively taciturn person. After hearing what You Jin said, he just nodded his head and said ‘yes’. No question asked.

Seeing that he had nothing to ask, You Jin handed him over to Uncle Hong: "Uncle Hong, both of these brothers are still young. You need to pay more attention to everything."

Then she turned to the two brothers and stated, "One day, three meals. Just come to our house for them. I will call You Yin and the others to call you when it’s mealtime."

Nearby, Uncle Hong jollily spoke: "You Jin, you take care of the meal! Don't leave me out!"

You Jin smiled and said: "Of course I won't leave you elder behind."

Two days ago, Uncle Hong specially approached You Jin. He was willing to take only fifty wen a month. The rest would be his food expenses. He wanted Su Family to help cook his meals. You Jin knew about Uncle Hong’s situation. In the early years when there was a plague in Luohe Prefecture, Uncle Hong was the only one in his family who survived. It took a little effort, so she agreed.

After sending You Jin away, Uncle Hong brought the two Han brothers into the small room where he usually sleeps: "You two will live here with me from now on. If anyone bullies you, tell me."

Back then, Uncle Hong had two young grandsons who died of illness in that plague. If those two children were still alive, they must be about the same age as Han Li.

Han Li cautiously thanked Uncle Hong before asking, "Uncle Hong, what should I do now?"

Seeing that he was on guard, Uncle Hong didn't mind. He thought for a while and answered, "Then you go and clean up the yard first!"

Having a task, Han Li, went to the backyard with his broom. Han Er Hua followed closely behind his brother with his short legs. One swept, one played. Feeling quite comfortable.

More and more people were living in Su Family’s canal worker's dormitory. Now the six shared quarters were almost all occupied. Wuliqiao villagers with a smart mind tidied up their family’s vacant rooms and old houses. The price was the same as Su Family's canal workers' dormitory; three sen per night. This had attracted many canal workers to live in the village.

He Hao, who was pushing the cart with Mrs. Zhao from the west of the river, looked at the grown men with unfamiliar faces walking out of the village in twos and threes and couldn't help feeling a little worried: "Now that there are so many strangers coming to the village. If we don't put some restraints, I'm afraid something will happen!"

How could Mrs. Zhao possibly like to hear this? She said: "It's just you being a worrywort! It’s a good thing that someone lives in and everyone can earn money together, no? What else can happen?"

Right now, He Family’s breakfast shop business was getting better and better. Look at the money that kept coming in every day. Mrs. Zhao can't wait for more people to live in here!

***

He Hao's worry wasn’t unreasonable. In just two days, something happened in the village.

Just as the lights were turned on that night, a younger generation's panting voice came from outside He Family's yard: "Uncle Lizheng, something happened in the village!"

He Hao, who was enjoying the cool air in the courtyard after dinner, immediately sat up when he heard that something happened. He hurried out to open the courtyard door: "What happened?"

"The canal worker who lives, lives, lives at Third Uncle Chen's house said that his money is missing. Right now, he’s arguing with Third Uncle Chen!" The younger generation had heard the commotion and went to watch the excitement. But seeing that that both sides were about to fight, the village elders sent him to get Lizheng to come over to preside over the overall situation. So the young man ran all the way over and was feeling out of breath.

"Old Third Chen?" He Hao knew it was deep trouble as soon as he heard about it. This old Third Chen was the most rogue rascal in Wuliqiao Village. He hurriedly closed the courtyard door: "Quick, let’s have a look!"

Before He Hao reached the gate of old Third Chen's house, he heard the ruckus in old Third Chen's yard from a distance. There were people watching the commotion outside the courtyard in the night. He Hao frowned. He rushed through the crowd and entered the yard. What came to sight was two groups headed by the canal worker who had lost his money and old Third Chen. The atmosphere was tense, as if the next moment a fight would break out.

"It was you who stole our money while we were away! Otherwise, who else would have come in?" The leading man was so mad the veins were popping in his face. He had followed the workers to dig the river channel from other places. It was all to earn some silver for his family so his blind mother can receive treatment. How can he not be angry now the money was gone?

But who was old Third Chen? A famous hooligan rascal in the whole of Wuliqiao. From young, he always took advantage of others. In response to what the man said, he acted like a complete hooligan: "Everything must rely on evidence. You said I stole your money. There must be evidence, right?"

This time, there were a total of five canal workers living in old Third Chen's house. All of them were from other places. So they didn't know the infamous old Third Chen. Old Third Chen was certain that even if they got stolen, they wouldn’t dare to do anything. That was why he had the guts to steal five people's money.

"You!" The two younger men standing behind the leading man wanted to rush forward, but were stopped by the leading man. These five canal workers who lived in old Third Chen's house had all their hidden money stolen by old Third Chen except for the little money they had on their bodies. They were all waiting to send home the money. How could they swallow this breath down?

"Alright! What's the fuss?" The crowd was attracted by this angry shout. It turned out that He Hao had arrived.

Old Third Chen had been a rascal for many years and also top-notch at playing tricks. When he saw Lizheng come, his mind spun and started the act of the villain complaining first: "Lizheng, you came at a good time. It’s enough that these outsiders live in my house and don't give money. Now they accused me of stealing their money! As the village lizheng, you have to uphold justice for us!"

"It was clearly you who stole our money. You even slander us of not paying for the stay!" The outsiders who had their money stolen were all very furious and pointed at old Third Chen as they berated.

Seeing that old Third Chen called him Lizheng, the red-faced man at the head also turned around and cupped his hands at He Hao: "You are the village’s Lizheng, right? We live in his house. Yesterday, the wages were paid. When we got off work today, we discovered they were all gone. The room is still in a mess. Beside him, who else could come in and search for our things?"

"How much money did you lose?" He Hao frowned and took in the messy courtyard. This old third Chen was getting more and more out of hand.

"I lost seven coin!" "I lost six coin!" "I lost..." The wages of canal workers were quite high. But compared to other jobs, it was labor-intensive. They were all from poor families. It would be strange if they weren’t anxious!

He Hao only felt that his sight darkened. He was also a farmer. So how could he not know the importance of six or seven silver coins to a family? After taking a deep breath, he looked at old Third Chen and asked, "Old Third San, this happened in your house. As the head of the house, no matter who did it, you have to give an explanation."

This was the logic. But what kind of character was old Third Chen? What explanation can he give? As soon as old Third Chen heard what Lizheng said, he spread his hands and pretended to be helpless: "What can I do? I didn't let the thief in. Besides, who knows if they really lost money or faked it? They said they lost a few silver coins. I can say how many liang, no, how many dozens of silver liang my family lost after they moved in!"

At this moment, not only did the five sufferers who lost their money falter backwards from anger, but even He Hao and the spectating villagers outside refreshed their understanding of old Third Chen's scoundrel again. This was the villain's complaining first!

Old Third Chen had been in the village for so many years. He was a scoundrel who can even cheat eggs from children. Even when everyone in the village knew that he stole it, old Third Chen would insist that they have no evidence. No one can do anything to him.

Seeing old Third Chen's triumphant look, the five men were so infuriated that blood rushed to their heads. The two young and vigorous men rushed up at this time. Their casserole-sized fists went straight to old Third Chen's proud face.

People who can work as canal workers had a good bit of strength. Old Third Chen had lived by cheating and tricking all these years. Although he wasn’t short, he was very thin. How can he possibly withstand these all-out fists?

"Ouch!" Old Third Chen fell down in response. Blood oozed from his nose. He unsteadily stood up with the support of a few pigs and dogs friends: "Ge, you dare to beat me on my ground! My brothers!"

All the people who fooled around with old Third Chen were also present today. Although they watched old Third Chen being punched until his nose spurted blood, they could only boost their courage and charge. How can the few of them hang out in Luohe Prefecture if they don’t retaliate?

The young man whose money was stolen was mad. Both sides immediately started to brawl. Although there were only five canal workers and were all young and strong, there were seven or eight people on old Third Chen's side. They were outnumbered.

Hollers, violently waving fists, and the dull sound of flesh collison... The scene instantly fell into chaos. Although He Hao was present, he was the only one person. He couldn't stop them. He beckoned the villagers who were watching the excitement outside to come in and break up the fight. It took a long time to separate the two groups of people whose eyes were red from beating.

Although both sides suffered some injuries, the canal workers only had slight bruises on their faces and all stood upright. While old Third Chen’s sides all had bruised noses and swollen faces. They kept wailing and screaming in pain.

All the villagers who had been cheated by old Third Chen felt extremely happy in their hearts. This kind of person deserved to be beaten up by someone! The few villagers who had a feud with old Third Chen winked at old Third Chen. Their mood were quite merry!

But who was old Third Chen? He was the one who can accuse one of stealing his cattle just for walking past his house! Would he take this beating lying down? He can be seen falling directly to the ground and clutching his broken nose as he hollered: "Ouch! Murder! Report to the officer!"

Old Third Chen's wife was also a powerful character. She directly pinched the daughter who was standing timidly by the side into tears. Then she plopped down on the ground and cried: "Unreasonable! Oppressing good people!"

The cries of the adults and the cries of the children were mixed together. Chen Family was really lively for a while.
